It's the same stock as used by Italian cinema in the 1960s, some of which is stunning - 8 ½ for instance.

Hi Collas,

So far, the film has only been made available to a small circle outside of the immediate operation. Everyone else, including backers has been waiting for preorders to open at their online store. It was supposed to be opening March 13th at midday EST but this has been delayed until the 15th.

The most interesting thing about this film is that it was a complete accident...

Whilst suffering (more) delays, the 3rd party emulsion they had procured for testing their coating platform expired. Wanting to use a fresh emulsion, their engineers mixed up a reformulated recipe for P30 from the 70's.

The results, it seems, were enough for FILM Ferrania to decide to produce this film in bulk and we're all now waiting for the results to be made available.
